The Snowdonia Cheese Company was established in 2001 with the aim of creating a luxury range of Welsh cheeses. The colourful wax-coated truckles are attractive and easy to spot and have won numerous awards. Based in North Wales and the rugged beauty of Snowdonia, the company uses only the finest (pasteurised) milk and additional ingredients to produce a distinctive range of cheeses. Options range from Black Bomber – an extra-mature Cheddar – through to Red Devil, a classic Red Leicester warmed with a hit of chilli. There is also the award-winning Pickle Power – a mature Cheddar with a pickled onion tang and Ruby Mist – another mature Cheddar with warming hints of Port and Brandy. Confronted by a limited choice on a recent trip to Wales I went for Truffle Trove, which is a mature cheddar embedded with small pieces of black truffle, an excellent compliment to the cheese.
